Judges 8:33-35
New English Translation
Israel Returns to Baal Worship
33 After Gideon died, the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals. They made Baal Berith[a] their god. 34 The Israelites did not remain true[b] to the Lord their God, who had delivered them from all the enemies who lived around them. 35 They did not treat[c] the family of Jerub Baal (that is, Gideon) fairly in return for all the good he had done for Israel.
